http://homeklondike.site/2017/12/13/diy-handmade-mini-christmas-tree-within-20-minutes/#commentsWed, 13 Dec 2017 08:59:53 +0000adminhttp://homeklondike.site/?p=59378The reign of festive mood at our Christmas tables is not just a question of the list of dishes; it is also essential to ensure the table is beautifully decorated. If you’re a lucky owner of a special Christmas dinner set, that’s great! And we suggest that you complement it with some original decorative elements touched by the warmth of your own hands and would like to show you how to make a mini Christmas tree from an old magazine within just 20 minutes.

You will need the following materials:

magazines with pages bound like a book;

spray paint;

liquid glitter;

foam stars.

So, let’s begin!

For a start remove the front and back covers of the magazine.

Fold the right lower corner of the page as shown on the photo (starting with the last page). Then fold the right upper corner along the central line of the magazine.

Fold the whole page again to form a neat triangle. If anything goes wrong, unfold the page again and correct the very first fold (of the right lower corner). You need to fold the corners correctly just once, and the rest of the pages will be folded boilerplate.

When you’re done with folding all the pages, your magazine will get a sustainable form, reminding the shape of a Christmas tree. Make your handmade masterpiece more festive with the help of spray paint and some liquid glitter. And a small foam star will bring a nice finishing touch to this piece of décor; you may fix it with a common toothpick.

You may paint your Christmas tree any color you like to match the dominating colors of your table setting and finish the composition with a few decorations and candles.

We wish you very happy holidays!

http://homeklondike.site/2017/12/09/why-your-surveyor-should-be-thought-of-as-a-buyer-too/#commentsSat, 09 Dec 2017 17:25:55 +0000adminhttp://homeklondike.site/?p=59309It may seem odd but when you go to buy a house it is important to not just think of yourself and you and your partner. Although you are spending the money and making the choice of home it is critical to bring your surveyor into the fold because their knowledge and experience vastly outweighs your thoughts on a house….and here is why!

Choosing a Surveyor

Before we look at why surveyors should be your best friend during a property purchase it is important to look at how to choose one. It is all too easy to just jump on a site like https://www.localsurveyorsdirect.co.uk/ and pick the first one that comes back, or the cheapest. This, however, is not how you would choose a property so it should also not be how you choose someone to assess a property. Look for local surveyors yourself, use google and look for reviews too. There is some amazing surveyors like https://www.chiltern-associates.co.uk/ in every area and they are the ones you should choose. Not on price, but on experience. Have a chat with them, discuss the property over the phone and bring them into the fold. Once you have a good relationship you will get much more from the survey. Cheap is rarely good and this is especially true when looking for a surveyor.

Head not Heart

The first reason your surveyor should be a critical part of the team is that they are not using their heart. Your surveyor is doing a job and as such will not be swayed by wistful feelings of cosy nights in or how you think if you work hard enough you can turn that run down cottage into a home (read this for a reality check https://www.ft.com/content/bf51e3f2-8aeb-11e6-8cb7-e7ada1d123b1 ). They will see the property for what it is and that is the one thing you will probably find hard to do.

Experience

No matter how many houses you have bought, and let’s face it, it is probably no more than 4 at the most, your surveyor will have seen more….a lot more. An experienced surveyor may have looked around, researched and delved deep into thousands of homes over the years and in doing so has built up a deep knowledge of how properties work, existing issues and potential issues. It is this experience they can bring to bear that is worth is weight in gold; if it actually weighed anything of course.

Knowledge

It is not just about experience, it is also about knowledge. To really understand a property you need both and you need to understand the physical stresses and strains that go on in a structure to be able to predict potential issues. Surveyors also know about materials like plaster, roofing felt and more. They can assess the current state of something and use this knowledge to predict what will happen. This is something most buyers simply cannot do.

Measured Choice

Although a surveyor cannot choose a property for you they can do everything but. You simply need to use them as part of your decision making process to come to a measured and sensible choice. Remove the passion and romance from a purchase and work on facts and costs. If a property is within budget it may seem perfect but when the surveyor says it could cost £100,000 to repair over the next 3 years you can listen and walk away unless you have the budget. It is this non sentimental and direct approach that makes your surveyor so critical.

So the next time you are buying a property and feel like a survey is just something you have to do stop and think. Take a step back and find a really good surveyor and then bring them into to your buying process. They will be all the things you are not able to be and as such will bring a highly valuable point of view into the mix. They may simply say that you have made a great choice which is always the best outcome. But, they may help you avoid making a very bad decision and buying a house that could potentially cost you huge amount of money in the future.

http://homeklondike.site/2017/12/09/how-to-organize-make-up-storage-15-best-ideas/#commentsSat, 09 Dec 2017 16:27:21 +0000adminhttp://homeklondike.site/?p=59288Beauty products can be tidily arranged on a dressing table top or on an open shelf only when a girl is a teenager and it’s her first makeup experience. Over the years her collection of beauty tools multiplies, while extra space hardly appears. Many women find a way out in using stationery organizers or big make-up bags. We on HomeKlondike suggest looking into more sophisticated ideas generated by fashion girls from all over the world – they open a completely new world of beauty, order and functionality. You will definitely find a perfect option for yourself from 15 best examples below.

Transparency is the best feature of makeup boxes.

Perfectionists would greatly appreciate it!

Where can such a console table be found? Nowhere! You just need to replace a wooden table top with a glass one.

When choosing organizers, you’d better give preference to for-growth samples instead of just-just kinds. Otherwise, you may have to buy one more storage system over time.

If you don’t like boxes, look for a rotational option.

Why not buy two sets of makeup organizers at a time? One of them can be put in the bathroom, and the other one – in the bedroom.

Are you running out of room on a dressing table? Feel free to seize the wall!

It’s not easy to find a drawer organizer that would fit ideally, but if you manage to do this, this may be one of the tidiest and dust free options.

A shoe organizer can be fitted for makeup storage as well.

Old tableware deserves a new life – just use your imagination.

Here the bottom of the drawer is covered with a piece of wrapping paper. But you may alternatively paint it by yourself.

Such a dressing table with a flap top is produced by a famous Swedish brand. Interior dividers are sold separately.

This option is quite time-consuming at first sight, but we believe that over time you will glue magnets to all your beauty products automatically.

Such a DIY idea requires some super glue and patience.

If you don’t feel like keeping your makeup brushes in holder cups, add a small piece of common elastic to a bamboo napkin and that’s it!

http://homeklondike.site/2017/11/28/how-to-decorate-a-narrow-hallway-9-ideas/#commentsTue, 28 Nov 2017 05:00:53 +0000adminhttp://homeklondike.site/?p=59169Loving imperfections of one’s neighbor is the highest form of wisdom. We on HomeKlondike believe that the same is true about interior failures. Sometimes these very drawbacks can be turned into strong points. For instance, a tiny kitchen would inspire you to arrange a full-fledged dining area in a living room, and a small bedroom wouldn’t let you fit in a writing desk next to your bed, which is also a nice thing from the psychological point of view. And of course, we have good news for owners of narrow hallways: you have a unique chance to implement your boldest design ideas and try new creative decoration tricks and colors that you would never dare to introduce in other parts of your home.

1. Mirrors

This is the simplest and most popular way of dealing with narrow spaces. However, even in this case you may opt for something unostentatious, like mirror mosaic, for example.

2. Wall mural

If you feel like selecting this trick, we’d recommend you to abandon conventional beach and autumn forest images for the sake of vintage maps, castle walls and views of night-time Paris. Such concepts set the right mood and help people re-charge their batteries.

3. Art gallery

You may also “open” the walls with a popular designer trick of distraction. Here you’d find photos, posters and maps especially useful.

4. Ceiling

To take the mind of a person passing by your hallway off the tight walls, make your claustrophobic guest look up. How? Make your ceiling non-white or add some eye-catchy piece of décor to this horizontal surface.

5. Eye-catchy lights

As a general rule, the thing that predetermines the atmosphere of the entire interior is the lighting. Take advantage of this fact!

6. A street indoors

Why not turn your hallway into a sweet narrow European street? This effect can be reached by means of just clinker tiles and a few outdoor lights.

7. Focus

Light at the end of the tunnel is like a magnet. So, let your hallway have such a happy ending.

8. Guides

This role can be safely given to strips on the walls. Such a solution is undoubtedly bold, bright, simple and fresh.

9. Functionality

Is failing to remember important things your persistent problem? Then coat your hallway wall with chalkboard paint and make notes, draw schemes and pictures to keep all you need in mind and order!

http://homeklondike.site/2017/11/27/5-trivial-domestic-things-that-can-upgrade-storage-in-your-closet/#commentsMon, 27 Nov 2017 05:01:00 +0000adminhttp://homeklondike.site/?p=59158Clothes, shoes, accessories… All these things should fit into your closet in a neat way to make storage well-organized and user-friendly. Many brands offer special tools for optimizing closets, but we’d like to offer you 5 trivial things that can be found in any home and save you from the necessity to buy something specific. These things can be found in your living room, bathroom or kitchen and can be turned into powerful “devices” for fighting against chaos.

Let’s begin with a common one-roll paper towel holder. This is a must-have of contemporary kitchens. But just imagine how many belts and bracelets such a device may keep organized. This storage tool is compact and user-friendly, and can be kept on a nightstand, on a dressing table or inside your wardrobe.

How to store all the bags in a compact and neat way? In fact it’s an age-old problem for many women. However, it can be easily solved by means of common bathroomhooks. This way every bag will have its concrete place.

A terrific thing for increasing the number of dresses you keep in one compartment from 10 to 30 is a bunch of S-shaped hooks for shower curtains and a small solid chain. Arrange your clothes on the following principle: the shorter, the lower.

Order and system guarantee comfort and good mood. A railing is irreplaceable in a compact kitchen. And now it can move to your wardrobe. Attach it to the inner side of the door and display your entire collection of jewelry. This way your necklaces wouldn’t wind together, will always be in plain sight and won’t take any place on the shelves!

Light summer shoes can be conveniently stored in cardboard desk paper organizers. Conventional shoe boxes take much more place and don’t allow you to see the contents until you check all the boxes; while nice paper folders solve these problems completely.

http://homeklondike.site/2017/09/28/how-to-control-feral-pigeons-in-buildings/#commentsThu, 28 Sep 2017 16:24:04 +0000adminhttp://homeklondike.site/?p=59001Feral pigeons are a common sight, particularly in urban areas where they can constitute a nuisance and cause real damage to buildings and other structures.The long-term control of these birds is notoriously difficult to achieve, even with professional assistance from a member of the British Pest Control Association (BCPA).

What’s more, many building professionals and management companies take a narrow view when it comes to pest control. The most successful way to control feral pigeons is to pursue a holistic approach, with expert independent advice, building investigation and specialist consultancy provided by renowned building professionals such as Hutton & Rostron.

What do we know about feral pigeons?

Feral pigeons (Columba liviadomestica) are descended from wild rock doves that thrive in a cliff environment, originally on the western coast of Europe and around the Mediterranean. Having interbred with many different strains, the birds are now well adapted to live in modern city environments where tall buildings provide habitats that are very similar to their natural surroundings. Large flocks will happily roost in empty loft spaces, on ledges and under bridges – in fact in most urban spaces that offer a small amount of shelter.

The natural diet of feral pigeons consists of grains and seeds, but they easily adapt their diet to include processed vegetable and animal products and will scavenge food, help themselves to household scraps, discarded takeaway foods.

With an adequate food supply, feral pigeons breed throughout the year, producing 3-6 broods of 2 ‘squabs’ per year. Individual pigeons can live as long as 30 years.

As wild birds, pigeons are capable of finding their own food – they do not require feeding. In fact, feeding pigeons attracts them to areas that are not natural to them and causes overcrowding, disease and injury to the birds.

What problems do feral pigeons cause?

Far from being harmless animals, feral pigeons have the potential to cause real damage to buildings as well as human health.

Displacing roof coverings to force entry can lead to water ingress into the building.

Nesting in gutters and hopper heads will cause a complete blockage and disrupt drainage.

Faeces, feathers and other detritus can block drainage, gutters and air vents.

Pigeon droppings are acidic and can damage brickwork and render.

In unoccupied buildings, the resultant water penetration may not be detected immediately, leading to seriousstructural damage, damp and decay.

Pigeons can be a threat to public health:

Feral pigeons, and particularly their faeces, carry a range of diseases that can be a potentialhealth hazard to humans which include salmonellosis, psittacosis, pseudo-tuberculosis, histoplasmosis, aspergillosis, cryptococcis and listeriosis.

Pigeons carry mites that can cause skin disease in humans, and they can spread fleas and other parasites into inhabited buildings.

Surfaces can become slippery as a result of pigeon droppings, or food left out for pigeons. This can be a problem for walkways and pavements affecting the general public; it can also cause hazardous conditions for building maintenance operatives higher up on building ledges etc.

A flock of pigeons suddenly taking flight can cause hazards to pedestrians and motorists.

Pigeons are a nuisance:

Pigeon faeces and detritus is visually unattractive, as well as difficult and expensive to remove.

Bird noise and nesting activity, particularly in the early hours, and the birds’ continuous begging for food is highly irritating.

How do you control feral pigeons?

Most common methods for pigeon control focus on either reducing their numbers in a particular area, or modifying the birds’ behaviour. The most popular techniques include:

Food reduction

Food is the single most important factor that determines the size of a pigeon population. The most successful long-term solution to pigeon problems is to reduce the availability of food.

Bird scarers – visual, audio or mechanical – may work for a short period until the bird population has adapted to the impulses given.

Bird nets are typically large mesh plastic nets fixed to an area of the building to prevent access – a cheap and effective proofing technique.

Sprung wires – placed along narrow ledges to interfere with the birds landing and taking off – are a tried and tested solution with a lifespan of up to 10 year.

Spikes – plastic or stainless steel – are fixed to the building to prevent pigeons from landing. However, they are relatively expensive and unattractive, and may be dangerous.

Gel repellants – an adhesive gel applied to the surface making it unpleasant for pigeons to perch. An effective deterrent in the short term, gels can lose their adhesion over time, may be messy and difficult to remove.

Population reduction techniques

Pigeon control through measures to reduce the pigeon population is general seen as less desirable and less effective. They include the removal of nest sites, using bait impregnated with birth control agents, introducing airborne predators such as falcons or domestic carnivores such as mink or ferrets, narcotic bait to stupefy and then remove birds, live trapping, and shooting.

Feral pigeons are protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, with control permitted by authorised persons using specified methods. It should be pointed out that the use of spring traps, poisons, gassing, as well as the use of some nets and adhesives are illegal.

http://homeklondike.site/2017/09/04/diy-original-handmade-furniture-handles-from-table-spoons/#commentsMon, 04 Sep 2017 06:00:40 +0000adminhttp://homeklondike.site/?p=58668Finding new ways of re-using old stuff is extremely entertaining. And it’s especially interesting when it comes to home décor. Why not start from small, yet sweet interior details – furniture handles, for example? Your kitchen cabinets can be upgraded to an absolutely new level of aesthetics thanks to our today’s DIY idea!

You will need the following things:

old silver spoons

a rubber hammer

a drill

screws

a burin (optional)

some patience

Perhaps, you will feel bad for your silver spoons, but don’t. Just try to recollect how often you use them? Silver spoons are pretty impractical actually: they hit up in a second and using them for eating hot soup or stirring sugar in a tea or coffee cup is very inconvenient. Of course, silver is a noble precious metal, but nowadays its price is pretty low, so the cost of a handmade silver furniture handle will be almost equal to the price you’ll have to pay for a beautiful knob in a store.

So, if you’re ready to reuse your silver spoons take as many of them as you need for new handles. Spoons can be identical or mismatched – diversity of forms and patterns will just add to the originality of your fixtures.

At first you should make the bowl of the spoon flat. Silver is an amazingly flexible material, so you’ll need just a few blows with a hammer. To avoid any scratches or damages, you’d better use a rubber tool.

Now you need to shape the spoon as a door handle – just the power of your hands will be enough to bend it as you need.

The next step is engraving. In fact, it is optional and can be skipped, but small letters on your handles will bring charm and authenticity. To make the inscriptions you’ll need a burin or a common drill – in a word, any sharp metal tool. And don’t mind calligraphy – our aim is originality

As soon as you’re done with the previous steps, it’s time to fix your new handles to the cabinet doors with the help of a drill and screws. It’s recommendable to drill two holes in the spoons before attaching them to the furniture.

http://homeklondike.site/2017/08/31/6-basic-principles-that-create-true-minimalism-in-interior-design/#commentsThu, 31 Aug 2017 08:37:08 +0000adminhttp://homeklondike.site/?p=58977Many people believe that minimalism is something empty, bare, desert, white and rectangular. But this is not true. The main objective of a minimalist-style interior is simplicity and objectivity, where all decorative layers take a back seat giving way to pure and sharp space. But what it takes to make a minimalist space instead of an empty area, deprived of fantasy? We have collected 6 basic principles of minimalism and would like to share them with you.

1. Focusing on the quality of materials

A wise, well-thought-out choice of finishing materials is essential in minimalism. Given that such interiors virtually don’t have any small details, materials willy-nilly turn into a spotlight. And when a surface is completely exposed to the eyes of the observer, he will necessarily start to examine it more closely and any imperfections would come out to the fore.

2. Increased attention to details

In a sterile room any speck of dust comes clear. The same is true for minimalism: one can buy a stunning glass staircase that seems to be floating in the air, but the impression can be completely spoiled by an ugly anchorage. That is why such trivial and mundane things should be treated with much attention. If you have no chance to conceal unattractive details, it would be nice to accentuate them. And vice versa – if you can’t make a spectacular accent, you’d better disguise it. Minimalism can’t stand half-measures.

3. One soft accent

When it comes to residential interiors, one should bear human perception in mind. Any of us, even a complete functionalist, favors smooth lines of wild nature. So, make sure that the above-mentioned glass-and-metal staircase is finished with a colorful lamp, an artwork or any other art object. In a word you should make an accent on the fact that this is a HOME, not a public area, and envisage a few small cozy nooks.

4. Be careful with ornaments

It seems to go without saying that minimalism has nothing to do with patterns. But a pattern is not just embroidery on a kitchen towel or a flower on a wall covering. For instance, stairs and guardrails against the background of a monochrome wall are a rhythmic pattern per se. So, when choosing any repeated form in an interior, you should realize how well it will integrate into the general concept and whether it creates the desired effect.

5. The less, the better

People having a bunch of coats on an open rack in a hallway, or those who have a collection of multicolor magnets on a refrigerator would have to review their habits completely for the sake of minimalism. In this style everything should deserve a place in an interior. But if you can’t refuse having something in big quantities, you should at least make it look like a monochrome composition, rather than a multicolor spotlight. For instance, in a home office all the folders should have the same color.

6. Give some space to your stuff

We are all familiar with a situation when we like something and try to fit this thing into a limited space even when our plans about using this very thing are quite subtle. This is absolutely inappropriate for minimalism. Every piece of furniture and décor should “work” in the space and hence needs much air. Due to this very principle minimalism is frequently criticized and dubbed the “waste of precious square meters”. So, get ready!

It is a sad but inescapable fact that the price of residential property is now firmly out of reach for most people on a normal wage. Faced with expensive long-term renting as the only available alternative, some pragmatic out-of-the-box thinking is long overdue.

It all starts with a change of perspective. Once you get the white picket fence dream out of your head and begin to think beyond traditional perceptions of what a home should physically be, all sorts of possibilities can open up.

Here, Dakota Murphey shares 3 of the most viable.

Log Cabin

Modern log cabins have come a long way from the traditional timber shed of old. There’s now a vast variety of different designs and layout, sizes and styles of log cabin available to cater for all tastes and requirements. Log cabins can cost as little as a few thousand pounds, but you should certainly budget in excess of £10,000 for a proper log cabin ‘home’.

If you are thinking about putting a log cabin in your parents’ garden and live in it, the first thing to make sure you’re your log home is suitable for permanent living all year round. Log cabin homes must be fully insulated – roof, walls and floor – and have high quality windows and doors, all of which can make them as heat efficient as a modern new build house. Roofing can be felt shingles, recycled rubber roof tiles or clay roof tiles.

You should contact your local Planning Department to obtain planning permission for a log cabin in your garden. This is likely to take the form of a Permitted Development Right or a Certificate of Lawfulness for mobile homes, including single storey log cabins. 2 storey log houses are classed as permanent dwellings and will need full planning permission.

House Boat

If you want the convenience and lifestyle of city centre living in, say, London, Manchester or Birmingham, take advantage of the extensive waterways and consider the purchase of a barge or house boat.

According to the Canal & Rivers Trust, almost 4,000 registered boats are now moored on London’s waterways – an increase of almost 60% in the last 5 years. Hackney, North East London has experienced the biggest influx of boats in England – an incredible 85% rise in residential moorings.

If this idea literally floats your boat, you can buy a cheap fixer upper for a few thousand pounds or a smart, ready-to-move-in river boat for closer to £100K – still cheaper than any Central London flat! Your main costs will be mooring fees, which can be considerable depending on location. Permanent mooring in the nicer parts of London can cost thousands. Temporary licences are much cheaper but will require you to move every 2 weeks.

Flat Pack Home

News of innovative and affordable flat pack homes hit the headlines now and again, but with no discernible uptake on what looks like a fantastic alternative to conventional housing. 10 years or so ago, Argos were rumoured to be entering the flat pack housing market, as were the Swedish furniture giant IKEA.

Recently, there’s been renewed interest in cheap and sustainable flat pack micro homes. Take the QB2, an eco friendly 2-person home that can be erected in as little as 4 hours, with the most basic version costing from £10,000. Barnhaus is a larger 2-bed house for £41,000 that you can build yourself. In Japan, where everything is smaller but somehow cooler, kyoshojutaku are beautiful architect designed micro homes that have to be seen to be believed.

With the housing crisis showing no sign of abating, perhaps this could be the future for large scale affordable development in the UK?

Autumn is approaching and the world of interior design expects the global color expert – Pantone – to publish the list of top colors for the next year. But so far we’d like to speak about a timeless, complicated and very feminine hue – lilac grey.

To our mind, this tint is very beautiful and tender. Pure lavender shade, which has many admirers and is valued for its ultimate femininity, may actually be pretty bright and obtrusive. While lilac grey is a delicate mixture with slight lavender notes that refresh and add the sense of mystery. The scope of the effect it produces depends on the deepness of the hue you plan to use.

A heavily “whitewashed” lilac grey, for example, will be ideal for a beauty salon, a boudoir, a spouses’ bedroom and even a kid’s room. A more saturated tint will be good in the role of an accent: in curtains, couch pillows, a wall behind the headboard.

Also, this color is splendid for sofa upholstery and upholstered furniture in general. And velvety fabrics would look especially soft and tender thanks to their texture, which enhances the feminine effect. The thing is that such types of textile conjure up images of soft flower petals in our minds. That is why the feeling of lightness and holiday spirit will surely accompany lilac grey in interior design.

Also, it should be mentioned that this color looks noble and even royal, so you’d make a win-win choice if you select this shade for a living roominterior.

Of course, lilac grey is also acceptable in kitcheninteriors, but you should be ready for the extremely feminine look of such a cooking area. So, if your home features men, you should consider their tastes as well. But this refers only to large-scale use; as for small interior details, lilac grey is just great both for kitchens and bathrooms.

Another safe zone for the inclusion of lilac grey is a teenager’s room. Many little girls fancy pink color and want to surround themselves with its hues. But tastes “grow up” along with young people, and exquisite and noble lilac grey can form a good alternative to the pink childhood. Just find the palette of this color, arrange it from the lightest to the darkest hue and pick out those combinations that would be warmer received by your kid.
